Germany player Sven Schultze:"It was a really tough game. The Spanish team really play for each other. We gave them a hard fight and we had our chances. Now, we just have to keep our heads up for the last two matches. For me, it is great to be in Vilnius as I have been here before. It's a nice Arena and the Lithuanian fans are great."

Germany Head Coach Dirk Bauermann:"There were a number of times in the game when we could have possibly got over the hump but we either turned the ball over or missed a shot. It was unfortunate because if we could have taken a lead just that one team then Spain would have been under some pressure but it never happened. Our guys played hard and stuck to the plan but it was just too bad we couldn't win the basketball game. We played exceptionally well against Italy, we played very well against Serbia at times and today we played well for 40 minutes so I think we have a great chance to win against Turkey. They are extermely strong but we have already beaten them twice recently and I think we can beat them again."

Spain player Ricky Rubio:"It was a hard game. Germany were very aggressive and we couldn't run as we like to do. I thought we defended well in the final quarter, especially in the last five minutes of the game to get the win."

Spain Head Coach Sergio Scariolo:"It was a physical game and Germany didn't give up. We weren't able to get a big run and pull away. I thought we did a good job on Dirk Nowitzki and Chris Kaman. Our defense was ok. Now we have two days to recover and get ready for Serbia."
